In XinJiang, a town near Hoten is using an army of cats to combat their rat problems. Reminds me of that one episode of the Simpsons. So far at least, it seems to be working. The original article the above blog post was mentioning, seems as if it was meant to make the Chinese happy about subjugating the Uighurs under their rule. As if somehow, this is a sign of progress under Chinese rule.
